$700 replacement toilet????

Fleetwood doesn't make toilets - they buy them from Thetford, or other manufacturers, just like you can...

Look at PPL parts, they have lots of toilets to look at.

is that Holland kentucky

or Holland overseas ?

i can imagine a $200 toilet for USA RV becoming an expensive imported item if going to Europe

Thank you for your responses. When you feel like you are being taken advantage of...you probably are!

We are from Holland Ohio. I have heard of Holland, MI but didn't realize there was a Holland, KY also.

A couple comodes I looked at were almost $500 each. Yes, they can be expensive.

300 for a porcelain bowl "Residential" type
150 for the hour's labor
250 for the fact it's a TOILET not a SINK.

Actually that last line is a joke but it may be how they are thinking.

And it may be there is damage to the flooring that needs fixing. If it's JUST the toilet the first two lines are reasonable. but if the floor is messed up.> Well 700 is cheep.

Just re-did mine

Job is 2 or 4 bolts and 1 or 2 water connections. I replaced one make with another so it was a touch more involved.

The above is true. (most of the time)


Look in the owners manual(s) satchel that came with your MH. The make/model of your toilet will be listed on a supplied brochure as well as the installation instructions. A quick google search for the make/model will give you a reasonable retail price. Add an hour of labor (@+-$135/hour) and that should give you a ballpark price. Expect reasonable shop material fees to be added. (+-$50) Add applicable sales tax. Unless there are special unforeseen conditions, (see installation instructions) it should be a very simple job.

Depending on the toilet, $700 isn't so pricy. My coach has Tecma Mercerator toilets which cost $1,400 plus installation. You may have Vaccuflush toilets and they aren't cheap.

Just looked at Amazon. Good RV toilets run $112-$150. Only a very inexperienced technician could take 3 to 4.5 hours ($150 or $100/hr)to install a toilet.

Local RV place just quoted me right at $500 for a new low profile for my Monaco. I got it from PPL for right at $350 including shipping. And it is the right 4 bolt hook up with a sprayer so I don't need the $58 adaptor for a 2 bolt.....I am old and not 2 smart and takes about an hour to change out.
